    I have high gloss kitchen worktops and cupboard doors and I've tried everything to make them streak free.

    The best thing that works is a bottle of 'Flash Kitchen with Fairy Liquid' (you can get it in pound shops/B&M etc). Use a warm sponge, clean them with it and then dry with a tea-towel. Brings up those surfaces a treat.

    Any helpful hints stick them in here.

    Bleach, vinegar and salt is a home made weed killer that actually works.

    To save time later when cooking boil some water then freeze it for later use.

    Eggs can be kept cool and safe from breakage by storing them in a handy papier mache box with hinged lid and compartment for each egg. Works best in capacities for either 6 or 12 eggs.

    Why are eggs kept at room temperature in supermarkets but we are to refrigerate when we get them home?

    Adding garlic makes nearly everything you cook twice as good.

    Keep eggs out of the fridge , going from cold to hot straight away when you cook them turns you gay.

    Always flick the lightswitch on and off 37 times or you slip on a banana peel.

    It attracts huns though.

    What would you rather, a wee spider in your house or a fat hun dangling from your light?

    Lemon juice in a wee bowl of water in the fridge to make it smell nice, also microwave it to clean and refresh the microwave, toothpaste on your trainers the white sole bits brings them up better than cleaning with bleach

    People who want to maintain their shinny white trainers deserve to be shot or at the very least deserve to have some * accidentally stand and scuff these shinny white trainers :giggle1:


    Only other bit of advice I will share is don't eat yellow snow.

    Slight difference between trainers and shoes ffs:56: Whatever pair of shoes I wear are cleaned/polished that day. Trainers get a rub down. If it ever becomes a "good look" wearing a suit with shinny white trainers I will be the one who doesn't look like a fud :giggle1:

    The most embarrassing thing is your insistence in spelling shiny "shinny".

    I really hope you don't shin your shoes because they wont be very clean if you just slap them off your lower leg repeatedly.
